Picture Rock Pass Petroglyphs Site

(

)

... that no one knows the age of the Picture Rock Pass Petroglyphs located in northern Lake County, Oregon, but Native Americans have lived in the area for over 12,000 years?

Comment: Hook source is from the article’s Reference 5, see pages 2.28 and 2.29. Also note, original wiki-page was created on 13 Oct 13, but it was not an article...it was a re-direct link to Picture Rock Pass article. First edition of Picture Rock Pass Petroglyphs Site article was created on 23 Nov 13.

Just a comment. I'd suggest that you replace the current hook with something based on your "However, they were probably created during either Clovis Period (10,000 and 12,000 years ago) or the Stemmed Point Period that followed (7,500 to 10,000 years ago), placing the likely period of the rock carvings sometime between 7,500 and 12,000 years ago." sentence. The original hook is kind of long, but petroglyphs this old in the open air are surely extremely rare (the Indian God Rock petroglyphs are seemingly less than 1000 years old, but still badly eroded by natural processes) and thus a better subject for a hook.

Here's alternative hook per your suggestion. Hook source is same as above, Ref 5 pp. 2.28-2.29.--Orygun (talk) 18:42, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

There is a suitable image at

Don’t know who suggested adding image, but image above is included in article and would go well with hook. Would need to add “...(petroglyph diagram pictured)...” since this is a diagram of the petroglyph’s layout; not an image of petroglyphs themselves.--Orygun (talk) 23:45, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

per above:

ALT3 ... that the Picture Rock Pass Petroglyphs (diagram pictured) in Lake County, Oregon were probably created during the Clovis or Stemmed Point period between 7,500 and 12,000 years ago?

Slapdash hook writing: "located" and "sometime" are totally redundant, "likely" unidiomatic in British English, & "northern" much more precise than we need, thank you. Article looks fine, but another review needed. Johnbod (talk) 18:21, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
